<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_bus_request_name()</function> requests
a well-known name on a bus. It takes a bus connection,
a valid bus name and a flags parameter. The flags
parameter is a combination of the following
flags:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>SD_BUS_NAME_ALLOW_REPLACEMENT</varname></term>
<listitem><para>After acquiring the
name successfully, permit other peers
to take over the name when they try to
acquire it with the
<varname>SD_BUS_NAME_REPLACE_EXISTING</varname>
flag set. If
<varname>SD_BUS_NAME_ALLOW_REPLACEMENT</varname>
is not set on the original request,
such a request by other peers will be
denied.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>SD_BUS_NAME_REPLACE_EXISTING</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Take over the name
if it is already acquired by another
peer, and that other peer has permitted
takeover by setting
<varname>SD_BUS_NAME_ALLOW_REPLACEMENT</varname>
while acquiring it.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>SD_BUS_NAME_QUEUE</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Queue the acquisition
of the name when the name is already
taken.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
<para><function>sd_bus_release_name()</function> releases
an acquired well-known name. It takes a bus connection
and a valid bus name as parameters.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Return Value</title>
<para>On success, these calls return 0 or a positive
integer. On failure, these calls return a negative
errno-style error code.</para>
<para>If <varname>SD_BUS_NAME_QUEUE</varname> is
specified, <function>sd_bus_request_name()</function>
will return 0 when the name is already taken by
another peer and the client has been added to the
queue for the name. In that case, the caller can
subscribe to <literal>NameOwnerChanged</literal>
signals to be notified when the name is successfully
acquired. <function>sd_bus_request_name()</function>
returns &gt; 0 when the name has immediately been
acquired successfully.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Errors</title>
<para>Returned errors may indicate the following problems:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>-EALREADY</varname></term>
<listitem><para>The caller already is
the owner of the specified
name.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>-EEXIST</varname></term>
<listitem><para>The name has already
been acquired by a different peer, and
SD_BUS_NAME_REPLACE_EXISTING was not
specified or the other peer did not
specify SD_BUS_NAME_ALLOW_REPLACEMENT
while acquiring the
name.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>-ESRCH</varname></term>
<listitem><para>It was attempted to
release a name that is currently not
registered on the
bus.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>-EADDRINUSE</varname></term>
<listitem><para>It was attempted to
release a name that is owned by a
different peer on the
bus.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>-EINVAL</varname></term>
<listitem><para>A specified parameter
is invalid.</para></listitem>
